Gene clustering and copy number variation in alkaloid metabolic pathways of opium poppy

Gene clustering and copy number variation in alkaloid metabolic pathways of opium poppy

The opium poppy has been a source of painkilling drugs synthesized by the benzylisoquinoline alkaloid pathway. Here, the authors report an improved genome assembly and reveal gene clustering and copy number variation in alkaloid metabolic pathways.
